For many evangelicals, liberation theology seems a
distant notion. Some might think it is antithetical to evangelicalism, while
others simply may be unfamiliar with the role evangelicals have played in the
development of liberation theologies and their profound effect on Latin
American, African American, and other global subaltern Christian communities.
Despite the current rise in evangelicals focusing on justice work as an element
of their faith, evangelical theologians have not adequately developed a
theological foundation for this kind of activism. Evangelical Theologies of
Liberation and Justice fills this gap by bringing together the voices of
academics, activists, and pastors to articulate evangelical liberation
theologies from diverse perspectives. Through critical engagement, these
contributors consider what liberation theology and evangelical tenets of faith
have to offer one another. Evangelical thinkers--including Soong-Chan Rah,
Chanequa Walker-Barnes, Robert Chao Romero, Paul Louis Metzger, and Alexia
Salvatierra--survey the history and outlines of liberation theology and cover
topics such as race, gender, region, body type, animal rights, and the
importance of community. Scholars, students, and churches who seek to engage in
reflection and action around issues of biblical justice will find here a unique
and insightful resource. Evangelical Theologies of Liberation and Justice opens
a conversation for developing a specifically evangelical view of liberation that
speaks to the critical justice issues of our time.
